“This was our first time boarding our boxer and Amanda immediately made me feel at ease leaving our girl with her! She sent pictures throughout the day and gave her extra cuddles for us. I will be boarding with Amanda later this month and I feel so relieved knowing our dog is in great hands!”

“Lacy was very caring and loving with our pup! She made sure to inform us of his daily activities with pictures and updates. We would definitely recommend and will be rebooking for future stays.”

“Vimonluck did a great job watching my dogs. She sent daily pictures/video updates so I knew how they were doing. She was easy to work with a took good care of my dogs.”

“I actually got recommended to Cheri through a friend! Truly the best in the business. I live in Waco and would drive hours to get to this woman, if I had to! I felt so beyond safe leaving my little bunny rabbit, Sefid, with her and am wary, typically, to allow anyone to watch her! She treated Sefid like her own so much so, that I was having a hard time getting her ready to leave! Thank you again, Cheri ? You’re stuck with me!”

About: Hi! I’ve had over 10 years of experience caring for and working with both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with basic training, administering lots of patience and love, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also helped foster pregnant female animals and cared for newborn litters, so I understand the extra attention, gentleness, and responsibility that some pets may need. Your pets will be treated like family in my care, and I’m happy to provide updates, photos, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection to keep you at ease while you’re away! 🐾 I work from home so I am actively able to provide daily outside playtime and potty time during the day and some much needed sun bathes for the sun bathers. I am able to provide a good feed schedule as well treat times! It is a pleasure to be able to work from home and effectively care to the needs of each furbaby! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs to ensure every pet receives personalized care, patience, and plenty of affection. I believe communication is extremely important, so I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check ins for peace of mind. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, young, or senior, I strive to make them feel secure, loved, and at home in my care. 🐾
“Suraj and his family made Lizzie feel like she was right at home. After our meet and greet Lizzie was excited to see Suraj and Nanu on drop off day. We received several updates along with photos through out the day. Thankful to have found Suraj to take care of our Lizzie. Thank you!”

“Lisa was great. She was very pleasant and welcoming when we arrived for the drop off. She kept us informed and sent pictures. She took very good care of Joker and Wishbone.”

“We love Hillery! Our dog Saber is so comfortable with her, and we trust that she is in great hands when she stays with her. We have used Hillery a few times and will continue to do so whenever we need a sitter.”
